Let's check in with the DIYers of the world and see how that's going. Oh it's… it's going off the rails? Cool, great! We'll be the judge of thees home remodeling disasterpieces. A lot of people do DIY projects to save money, but they end up making mistakes that cost them even more money to fix. For example, some people will try to tile their own floors or counters. During the early 2020s when we all spent a lot of time at home, this was quite common : people were spending lots of time in the ho…

We all want to take pride in our homes, but these people have made some questionable design choices . From squiggly doorways to furniture that the cat can't wait to scratch, we've collected a whole bunch of utterly bizarre home decorations. Furniture with extra functions is always a selling point for people. But then again, would you really want the stairs that come built-in with drawers? At first, that sounds like a fantastic idea. Who doesn't want extra storage, right? But then again, how do…

As if a household wasn't already hard enough to keep clean , these people are living life on challenge mode. They've acquired some items of beauty that are just way too difficult to clean! Sometimes you can't help but buy that gorgeous item you see at the store, only to be hit later with a big dose of buyer's remorse. Maybe you saw a cutesy lamp that you later realized is not your style at all, or perhaps you picked out a coffee table only to realize you cringe when you see it. It happens to al…

Some of these designs make you wonder how they ever got past the drawing board and out into the real world. Someone had to look at these designs and say, “Yep, I'll greenlight this.” It really makes you want to know the backstory of these images.

Home decoration is highly personal, as these people with very specific tastes can tell you. The things that you love to have in your home might baffle other people. But when it's your home, you can do as you please! The only way other people will get to judge your all-yellow bathroom or your jagged DIY sink is when you sell the place. Not all DIY projects are created equal. It's one thing to paint or wallpaper your living room to your taste. It's a whole other story when you start cutting up yo…

We're all for interior design, but some of these things are beautiful… and impossible to keep clean . Cleaning is a never-ending chore. You'll always have to do dishes and laundry, and those floors won't mop themselves. In any house, there are bound to be a few hard-to-reach corners or crevices. When that's the case, people tend to just ignore it. Who cares if the top of a cabinet is dusty, or if that one crawlspace has built up some dirt? Well, it's a whole different story when it's a prominen…

The difference between good design and poor design is in the eye of the beholder. For example, let's say you want a staircase in your newly built home. How hard could that be to execute? It's probably pretty straightforward, unless you want something fancy. Maybe you're a wealthy multi-millionaire with money to burn and a desire to impress your artsy friends. Then perhaps you give your designers some artistic leeway. It's shocking how many interestingly designed staircases are out there in the…

Sometimes you see a product online that makes you go, “Who in their right mind would ever buy this?” It seems like some products are just made for nobody. One example is overly specific shirts, like that viral tee that read, “Never underestimate a mother who listens to iron maiden and was born in August.” Is anyone wearing those shirts sincerely, or are the wearers only being ironic? It's hard to say, and if I ever come across someone rocking an overly-specific shirt, I'll be sure to ask them.

If you're looking to go for a swim in the middle of your living room , I know the perfect house for you. Seriously — it exists. And it's #22 on this list of eccentric houses. When you want to sell your home , a realtor and photographer will help you snap a bunch of pictures that make your home seem appealing to a potential buyer. Usually, they'll try to highlight the best features while downplaying the worst of them. However, some houses are so, um, unique that there's no hiding the previous ow…

That seat needs to be lowered.

The carpeted bathrooms. The carpeted bathrooms.
